Mysterious Nameless Mischievous Entities

 by Casey Parish

Am I the only one that is growing increasingly tired of mysterious nameless entities?  These guys have been giving me a heck of a time going about my day-to-day life.  Some of them serve the exclusive function of misplacing important documents.  It is simple logic that a fellow would never intentionally make important things hard for himself to find.  Also, a fellow of relatively sound mind will not handle important documents when in a mood that is so carefree he isn’t aware of what he is doing.  It would also be well to postulate that it is rare for a fellow to be in such a state unless under the influence of some control substance.  Moreover, if a fellow has zero propensity to subject himself to a control substance then the occurrence of the absent-minded mood is even more unlikely.  And yet, on a daily basis, important documents are mysteriously misplaced.

            Initially, it may seem childish to blame such mysterious mischief on a living entity besides those who dwell where the documents are placed, but I assure you that it is much sillier to hold the belief that these objects developed minds of their own and move about as they please.  Yes, for these unfortunate incidents alone a person is forced to abandon what is “rational” and begin to accept things that are very hard for most to swallow.

            The mental paradigm shift will become easier if one considers that before the acknowledgement of the existence of tiny single-celled organisms people were clueless as to what would cause a person to become sick.  I have no doubt that, initially, the notion of the existence of germs seemed very silly, but as soon as someone swallowed their pride and examined the situation with an open mind the door was opened to discovery and medications were created to deal with the germs.  If mankind is ever going to solve the problem of disappearing documents, we have to approach it with an open mind.

            Now it doesn’t seem silly to believe in these invisible entities does it?  In fact, in believing you have made a great leap towards discoveries that will improve the quality of everyone’s life.  Now, who will be the fellow to take the initiative and pursue the idea that these things exist and how to deal with them?  Who will be the hero?  I would but I have a lot of stuff to do.  I have some socks to fold and then I have to put a check in the bank…. Now, where the heck did that check go?!?!
